Chapter 24

As Leticia boarded the bus headed for the competition venue, Samuel stopped by to see her off. They even spoke briefly through the bus window before leaving. After he left, Leticia's professor, Taylor Parker, flashed a knowing smile and asked, "Is he your boyfriend?" Leticia replied with a smile, "I haven't really gotten into a relationship with him yet. I didn't expect you to be so nosy!" "You've been single for four years, so you can't really blame me for being a little curious, right?" Taylor quipped, obviously being close enough with her students to joke around with them. "And if you do get married someday, remember to invite me to the wedding!" "Of course!" Having traveled for two hours on a high-speed train and then a bus, the group quickly settled into the hotel and began delegating responsibilities. Leticia couldn't stop worrying about her entry, so she pulled out her laptop to review it a few more times. It was only in the evening that she realized Samuel had texted her.
